As much as we're all enjoying laughing at people who park badly getting what's coming to them, we can all agree that nobody likes to get a parking ticket. There are times when it doesn't feel like it's our fault - we were parked somewhere for five minutes too long, or at the wrong time of day. Other times, we were only there for two minutes to pick up or drop off, and we still had to pay for the privilege. On those occasions, it can feel like parking enforcement officers are being overzealous.
If it makes you feel any better, even those parking enforcement officers have to play by the rules. If they've stopped their vehicle somewhere it shouldn't be, and there's another enforcement officer nearby to see them do it, they'll end up with a ticket just like the rest of them do. We wonder if they just took the cost of the fine straight out of this officer's salary?
